What are the real scores for those homework essays????
Read and discuss a sample for the prompt you just wrote about.
As you get your papers back, you will notice that you have a score and a group color written on the top. Each color group focuses on a specific problem that you seem to be having. Go to the group that you have been designated as and look at your papers together. As I visit with each group, talk together to think about how you could correct this particular problem. Can you see where this is occuring in your essay?
Groups:

• Language Control - GREEN
• Start with a bang- end with a fissle... - RED
• Oversimplification - YELLOW
• Counter-claim - BLUE
• Integrating sources- PURPLE
